Today while reading the New York Times political section online two of the main articles were about funding ad campaigns. It seems odd to me that this, according to a well known newspaper, is the most important thing going on in American politics currently. Or perhaps it is not important according to the newspaper but instead what the readers are most interested in reading about which is a sad commentary on the population. Both this articles talked about the campaigns for about a paragraph but the main point as well as the title in both was who paid for the campaign and how much it cost them. Where are money is being spent is important but I feel like there must be something more interesting going on in the world. Especially with our economy in its current state I understand the need of the general public to feel they know where money is going and who is backing it, however, shouldn’t it be more important to know why it is going to those places and why certain people are backing it?
